My favorite way to make guacamole!
Another idea for your avocado surplus: Way before avocado toast was a thing, I used to make “smashacado” by lightly mashing a small avocado half onto hearty bread of choice, dressed with coarse salt and perhaps a dash of hot sauce.
And now I’m craving smashacado for lunch.
In San Francisco, Dan Armor has been available more or less continuously of late. It used to be a holiday item, but seems to have evolved into a perennial.
In the summer of 1981, after my sophomore year of college, I was working two nights a week as a dishwasher and living on the tips while banking my wages–in other words, living on practically no money. And all that summer the grocery store next door had avocados at 10/$1. Cheese was way out of my price range, so I pretty much lived on avocados smooshed onto tortillas.
I was thinking of making a hard boiled egg and avocado salad for work lunch tomorrow. Too bad I don’t have any lox to add…
Following up, the pear cider is even better than the apple, IMO.
My local TJ’s has the Dan Armor almost all year round the past 2-3 years. The apple is good, but I too think the pear is even better.
I really like the TJ’s frozen Korma Fish Curry and the Fettuccine Alfredo with Grilled Chicken.
Thanks for highlighting!
MEH+ to the (new?) Cuban Style Citrus Garlic Bowl. To me, this version of arroz con pollo is too salty, yet bland. As 11oz is a skimpy amount for what is intended as a whole meal, I added some vegetable leftovers, plus a buttered roll.
Definite nay on TJ’s High Fiber Multigrain Bread–dry and tasteless.
New to me, tasted as one of their samples a few weeks ago, then purchased on Saturday:
Big YEA!
Also, just tried the Everything But The Elote seasoning, on eggs, and I think it may be the same seasoning that’s on those dippers, but I’m not sure because I have a bad cold right now and my taste buds may be off.
So a Yea with the caveat that I have to try it again.
Back in stock after a long hiatus
Could tell us where you found this? I was told at the Burlington MA store that it was no longer available.
Thanks!
This is in San Francisco, North Beach TJs. They used to carry it, then stopped for about 2 years, but now it is back.
Thanks…I will check again to see if its back over here too.
Ooh. Fingers crossed for coffee next.
I found the elote dippers (and the regular ones) to be waaaaay too salty - and I otherwise love salt!
But I did - very skeptically - buy the seasoning, and it’s delicious! Just have to figure out what to put it on (other than corn).
Some possibilities:
I’m going to buy some tomorrow!
omg i love that they’re salty! I’m a salt-hound too.
I put that stuff on my eggs.
i think it would be great on steamed veggies, baked potato, even roasted chicken…
inside quesadillas!
